The Best Choice for "No-Gas" Homes
If your home doesn't have a gas line, the Rinnai REHP is the single best upgrade you can make.
- 4x More Efficient: Standard electric tanks are 100% efficient at best; the Rinnai REHP is up to 400% efficient because it moves heat rather than just creating it.
- Rapid Recovery: In "No-Gas" situations, standard electric tanks often run out of hot water. The REHP uses a 4.5 kW heavy-duty element paired with heat pump technology to deliver a First Hour Rating of up to 91 Gallons.
- Zero Emissions: Leveraging Ontario's clean electrical grid, this unit offers a fossil-fuel-free home without sacrificing the high-flow performance usually only found in gas systems.

Frequently Asked Questions Rinnai REHP Series
Are there any rebates available for this unit in Ontario?
Yes, there is a rebate available. However, since energy rebates in Ontario can change every month based on government and utility provider updates, we recommend contacting our experts directly. We will provide you with the most recent updates and ensure you maximize your savings through programs like the Home Renovation Savings Program.
Does it work in cold Ontario winters?
A: Since this unit is designed for indoor installation (like a basement or utility room), it pulls heat from your indoor air. The heat pump operates efficiently as long as the ambient room temperature is at least 37° F(3°C ). If the room temperature drops below that, the high-performance 4.5 kW electric elements automatically take over to ensure you always have hot water.
How does the Rinnai REHP compare to the Rheem ProTerra (PROPH50) hybrid heater?
While both are efficient, the Rinnai REHP is the superior choice for Ontario homeowners for several strategic reasons:
- Heavy-Duty Engineering: Rinnai is built with a more robust chassis and higher-grade internal components compared to the lighter Rheem model, which can feel less durable under heavy usage.
- Better Parts Availability: Rinnai has a significantly stronger logistics network in Canada. If you ever need a component, Rinnai parts are readily available, whereas Rheem parts often face longer backorder times.
- Competitive Pricing: Despite its "heavy-duty" classification, the Rinnai REHP often offers a more competitive price point for the value.
- Operating Range: Rinnai's heat pump is designed to operate efficiently down to 37° F , ensuring more "heat pump days" in Canadian climates.
Maintenance Design: Rinnai features horizontal air filter placement for quick, tool-free cleaning.
How much can I save on my bills?
Most Ontario homeowners switching from a standard electric water heater save between $300–$500 annually on electricity, depending on usage patterns.
Do I need a floor drain?
Yes. Like an air conditioner, heat pumps produce condensate. We install a flexible drainage pipe to your nearest floor drain or can install a condensate pump if a drain isn't nearby.
